YORK, Pa. (AP) – Authorities say a Ferris wheel at a Pennsylvania fair will remain closed following an accident that injured two people, one of whom fell from it.  York Fair chief executive officer Bryan Blair says one person fell from a car on the Giant Wheel on the midway at about 8 p.m. Friday. He says the other person didn’t fall but couldn’t confirm Saturday whether the person was on the ride or on the ground.  He says both were taken to York Hospital, which has released no information about their condition.  Blair says state inspectors have looked at the ride and talked to operators and witnesses. He says the fair and Deggeller Attractions are cooperating with the probe.  Deggeller is based in Stuart, Florida.
